1. An illumination apparatus comprising:
- a lighting device disposed proximate a vehicle accessory comprising a persistent luminescent portion configured to charge in response to receiving an excitation emission comprising a first wavelength from a light source;
a detection sensor configured to detect a device proximate the vehicle; and
a controller configured to activate the light source in response to the detection to charge the persistent luminescent portion to emit an output emission comprising a second wavelength.

Abstract
An illumination apparatus for a vehicle accessory is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a lighting device disposed proximate the vehicle accessory comprising a persistent luminescent portion. The persistent luminescent portion is configured to charge in response to an excitation emission from a light source. The apparatus further comprises a detection sensor configured to detect a device proximate the vehicle and a controller configured to activate the light source in response to the detection. The light source is configured to charge the persistent luminescent portion to emit an output emission.
